Your responses are appreciated for their content and clarity. I feel like I can trust the folks who contribute here. There seems to me more of a bond than one would expect from just a mutual interest in an old car. Sort of like group therapy without the therapist.

FYI I am almost 64, like in the song. I was still in high school when my '62 sedan was built (but all I wanted then was a '40 Ford coupe-had a 4 door). I know everyone has something valid to offer, regardless of age or experience. Thanks for reminding me of that.
